85-100 days. This beautiful Mexican heirloom, used by the Zapotec people for centuries, is very well-adapted to the hot, dry conditions of the Intermountain West. Green corn can be dried on the stalk and ground for corn bread and tortillas. Very decorative green corn cobs.

﻿How to grow it:

After all danger of frost has passed, plant 2 seeds 12" apart in rows 18" apart. Thin to one strong plant per row foot. Corn is wind pollinated, so plant in blocks at least 5' x 5' to ensure adequate pollination. Allow cobs to dry on the plant as long as weather remains dry.
